Library table. A substantial table, equipped with drawers or cupboards, and sometimes with an adjustable reading rack, for use in the library. They took the form either of a pedestal desk at which two people could sit opposite each other, or of a more conventional table form. The tops were generally lined with tooled leather. Many Australian examples in red cedar and sometimes stained pine survive from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
